NEW YEAR

RELEASED 17/12/2020

The Story of New Year

We have been a couple for over 11 years & at a friend’s wedding on New Year’s Eve a couple of years ago, we realised we had shared that NYE midnight moment together every year since we first met & we wanted to do so every year moving forward. This inspired ‘New Year’, a soulful & uplifting love song about always having an anchor - a special someone by your side to bring in each new year with. This festive anthem is a declaration to one another - despite everything that might be going on around us, we will always have each other & we don't ever want to start a New Year without the other person.

Lyrics: 

Starved for attention & drowning in doubt,  
Choosing the people I can’t live without.  

Learning to share everything that I own,  
Trying to show you just how much I’ve grown  

It’s all new, all new for someone, someone like me, thinking in every step that  
We are meant to be  

And I will always be here  
By your side at new year  
& I don’t ever want to start  
A New year without you, a new year without you  

All of our days are spent rushing around,  
Chasing careers & our peers on the ground,  

Casting aside the ones that all care,  
We’re filling the tank but we’re going nowhere  

It’s all new, all new for someone, someone like me, thinking in every touch that  
We are meant to be  

I will always be here  
By your side at new year  
& I don’t ever want to start  
A new year without you, a new year without you  
A new year without you, a new year without you  

Seasons will change & we both will grow old,  
& we know that our bodies won’t do what they’re told.  

Give love with ubiquity, give love to the earth,  
We’ll commiserate dying, but we’ll celebrate birth  

It’s all new, all new for someone, someone like me, thinking in every breath that  
We are meant to be  

I will always be here  
By your side at new year  
& I don’t ever want to start  
A new year without you, a new year without you  
A new year without you, a new year without you
